Indonesia Social Media Ban: Children Under 16 Not Allowed To Access TikTok, FaceBook, Instagram, YouTube and Others

With the move, Indonesia became the first country in Southeast Asia to ban children from having accounts on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, Bigo Live and Roblox. It follows measures that Australia took last year in a world-first social media ban for children as part of a push for families to take back power from tech giants and protect their teens.
